i agree with the other guys, its certainly not worth 2900 bucks to rebuild a 305. since you have to have someone else to do the work for i would suggest buy a gm crate motor such as this one http://www.paceparts.com/product.asp?3=3169 and have some one swap it out for you. your accesories and intake and carb and all from the 305would swap over to the new 350 if you didnt want to spend any money on go fast goodies like intake ,carb and headers and such. and you would have a brand new motor that would last longer than any rebuild. you could prob swap it out yourself, it would be a good learning experience.
